install kotlin

Step 1: Download the Kotlin Compiler (kotlinc) and the Kotlin Runtime Library (kotlin-runtime)

curl -LO https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/releases/download/v1.5.31/kotlin-compiler-1.5.31.zip
unzip kotlin-compiler-1.5.31.zip -d /opt

Step 2: Set up the environment variables for Kotlin

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/kotlinc/bin

Step 3: Verify the installation

kotlinc -version

Step 4: Install a text editor or integrated development environment (IDE) with Kotlin support, such as IntelliJ IDEA with the Kotlin plugin.

Step 5: Create a Kotlin file (e.g., HelloWorld.kt) and write a simple Kotlin program.

Step 6: Compile and run the Kotlin program

kotlinc HelloWorld.kt -include-runtime -d HelloWorld.jar
java -jar HelloWorld.jar
